Meanings and usage

adjective: anxious, worried
著急

The page lists both a verb sense ('to worry') and an adjective sense ('anxious') under the identical reading; the adjective was chosen as primary since Teochew descriptives are conventionally tagged 'adjective' even when functioning as stative verbs.
